What is wrong with this picture? The 2nd red (is that a trapezoid?) is turned the wrong way, it should adjoin the gold square. I didn't discover it until I had quilted it, and there is now way I am going to rip it out and change it now. It doesn't bother me unduly, I gave up trying to be perfect a long time ago; it made life a lot easier for me and everybody around me. I stopped demanding perfection from myself and then I could stop demanding perfection from those I loved. I was doomed to failure anyway. Now I don't feel so much a failure while accomplishing more. Life is more relaxing and a lot more fun this way. I have occasional relapses but on the whole do pretty good.

Yesterday we were watching the boys while Ambrosina and Leon were running some errands and Malachi was jumping around shouting and banging things, enjoying himself as 8 year old boys are prone to do. I rather enjoy it, but David must have had a headache because he asked Malachi if he had to be so loud. Malachi looked at him like he was crazy and said "yeah". Funny, funny. I'm surprised David had to even ask that, he should have known the answer would be yes, he raised 5 boys too!

My first assistant Happy came by briefly to check up on my work, she doesn't spend as much time helping me as she did now that she has Waddles to interact with. She didn't catch my goof before I quilted it either.

I think we got about 4 inches of snow, I don't know if we are to get much more because it had stopped snowing, I notice that it was starting up before I came downstairs a little bit ago, still cold, but what else could i expect for mid December. Let's see January, February, March 3 months before we can be thinking about Spring. I survive every year I guess I can this year too.
